Life Drawing Sessions

Life Drawing is a key skill that any concept artist needs in their arsenal as it helps in the development in their skills when it comes to drawing humanoids as well as the positions that they might require to draw them in order the objects they will have to interact with.

For this session we where required to draw this lady using chalk, I personally tried to smudge the image on the left in order to give it more definition but I think I messed it up as it is harder to control the smudge than when using a pencil., The middle image is a continuous line drawing whch I found out is one of my weak points and I need to work on it.

More sketches using chalk, this time of a male model taking different positions and I have to draw him from my perspective.

This piece was initially started by me all the way down to the hip of the model and then as part of the exercise we had to swap with the person next to us and they would complete it; my partner was also the 1 who added the horns trying to be funny.

For this session I had to draw another male model from my perspective as he changed poses using chalk.

Then I had to try and sketch a sort of storyboard as he walked around the room, I am really disappointed by this piece even though it was short notice ill try and work on it in the future.

These 2 pieces required us to try and give off a an old school negative effect using the chalk to blacken the background. The 1st 1 used a rubber to remove the parts I wanted while the 2nd used white chalk. I prefer to use the white chalk as it allowed me to leave effects such as a 3D look  to the models arm seen above.

This is one of my favourite pieces that I have created during life drawing. I used a pencil to make this drawing and the rough lines make a simple pose that the model was making give off a vibe of broodig and pain for some reason.

These sketches in the session were made using a pen, I don't think they came out bad but i believe I could have done better when it came to defining facial features. 

Another thing that I like about positiong different poses in parts of the sheet when drawing is that sometimes they come together and look like a picture. For instance the piece above sort of looks like a wealthy man in a barthrobe is about to get stabbed in the back and someone sees sort of like Ceasar.
